Several valid points from other posters on this thread.

The Clintons are thieves (that was just a gimme...).

Haitians who came to the US legally are some of the hardest working people you will ever encounter. They fully understand coming to a nation where they have political, economic and spiritual freedom and opportunities.

Free food from USAID and many, many NGO sources result in farmers having no incentive to plant as they have few to sell to.

Primitive land management/farming techniques continue to strip the land of any viable farming use. Millions of seedlings planted back in the 80's/90's that were supposed to prevent erosion of soil were harvested for charcoal production (used by millions as the only cooking fuel) when they were 2-3 inches in diameter. This re-planting and then malharvest was continually repeated.

An agronomist friend in the country (European brother who had worked all over the world in third-world agronomy) was of the opinion (back in the 80's) that Haiti could feed themselves and the entire Caribbean basin if the land was properly managed. That goal was very achievable but it was impossible to break Haitians from the cycles of only planting sugar cane or seedlings for charcoal.

Haiti continues in a never-ending cycle of dependence-mentality, bone-crushing poverty that has spiritual roots.

How many years ago was the earthquake? (January 12, 2010) Yet there are massive areas that still looked like it just happened last week.

How about the huge number who got here illegally?

REALLY?????? I had no idea for the hardest working people I ever encountered were the white class of Americans working as government financial slaves to feed, house, entertain and clothe several other races that don’t seem to have any work ethic.

UP is DOWN...DOWN IS UP!
